inSync 5.2 Private Cloud – Administrator’s Guide
Creating a Storage
You can create two types of storages for inSync Private Cloud - primary and secondary. There is
practically no difference between the two storage types, except that a secondary storage stands in for
the primary storage to which it is configured when the latter is down. This ensures a seamless backup
and restore experience for the users.
Prerequisite:
Make sure that you have created the storage node for the storage. For more information,
see Creating a Storage Node.
Decide which folders you will use as the data folder, the database folder, and the database log
folder. For storage less than 1 TB size, same folder can be used as all three. For storages more
than 1 TB size, separate folders must be used. Remember that the database folder and the
database log folders must always be in the local hard drive.
For Linux systems, make sure that insync server has group and owner permissions on the
storage folders. The following command is used to change the owner and group
as insyncserver: $ sudo chown insyncserver:insyncserver
